Legal Justification

Northern Trains Limited (NTL) has an obligation to provide continuous real time travel management disruption data. There is no option to do nothing nor have a break in service given the importance, scale and complexity of the services delivered. There are grounds where NTL as public body could award a subsequent contract to a third party using the exemptions in Regulation 50 of the UCR. This exemption is provided for under the UCR Regulation 50(1)(c) which allows Utilities to award a contract where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular supplier because competition is absent for technical reasons and where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. The absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. Under 50(1)(c) of the regulations, the nature of the product is unique, and no reasonable alternative or substitute solution exists. The supplier owns copyright and the IPR in all the software and currently no other single software solution can be utilised to supply the crucial interfaces to all of the multiple third-party systems served. This contract extension will ensure business continuity as there will be no technical or operational disruption of the services.
